<b>What’s your work about?</b><br>
I enjoy looking at everyday found objects; I have always enjoyed “object d’art” and am an avid collector. I am particularly interested in how we absorb and interpret messages that we are confronted with on a daily basis. I find double-meanings amusing, but moreover, I love how a message is mutable according to our personal experience and interests or the media stories of the day.

<b>Why have you chosen to live and work in Stockholm?</b><br>
I live and work in Stockholm and Istanbul. I'm Swedish by nationality so placid Stockholm will always be my home. Istanbul is a crazy, chaotic megalopolis. I believe the polarity between chaos and peace is what feeds my creativity.

I find double-meanings amusing, but moreover, I love how a message is mutable according to our personal experience and interests or the media stories of the day.
